Risk Factors for Severe COVID-19 in Children

Rebecca C. Woodruff et al.

Summary: This study describes population-based rates and risk factors for pediatric severe COVID-19. The study found that children under the age of 2 with chronic lung disease, neurologic disorders, cardiovascular disease, prematurity, and airway abnormality, as well as children aged 2 to 17 depending on a feeding tube, with diabetes mellitus, and with obesity, are more susceptible to severe COVID-19. The results of this study are important for identifying high-risk children and implementing prevention efforts, including vaccination.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Clinical Syndromes and Predictors of Disease Severity in Hospitalized Children and Youth

Danielle M. Fernandes et al.

Summary: The study aimed to characterize the demographic and clinical features of pediatric SARS-CoV-2 syndromes and identify predictive admission variables for disease severity. The results showed that obesity and hypoxia on admission were predictive of severe respiratory disease, while lower absolute lymphocyte count and higher C-reactive protein were predictive of severe MIS-C. Race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status were not predictive factors for disease severity.
